What about ethics in the instance of conflict of interest? Is there any review process in the appointment process that could demonstrate or at least reduce the risk of conflict of interest? As you know, in SDTC this is an extremely serious situation. There were many instances of conflict of interest. It seems imperative to me, if we're going to be appointing officers to these kinds of boards, that there at least be some kind of competency demonstrated that they have an ethical understanding of the conflict of interest.
Are there any questions within the review or interview process that clarify or create a process to determine how much risk a particular appointment could potentially create for an organization in the instance of conflict of interest? What anti-conflict of interest processes are there in the appointment process?
